'Perhaps MPs are so busy nowadays, they have no time to acknowledge the letters they get.'
MR LOKE KONG: 'I was surprised that after writing a letter to my MP early last month - suggesting that he bring up the matter of dangerous driving during a Parliament sitting - he did not even acknowledge my letter. And this is not the first time. Perhaps MPs are so busy nowadays, they have no time to even ask an assistant to acknowledge the letters they get. When I wrote to Mr Goh Chok Tong when he was Prime Minister in September 1991, he not only acknowledged but also thanked me and signed the letter in person. I have kept that letter until today.'
Different MP, same experience

I REFER to Mr Loke Kong's letter on Monday about his MP not acknowledging his letter ("No reply").
I have had the same experience with my MP.
I wrote to him on March 4 last year, and after waiting for a few weeks, I decided to print a copy of my letter, drive to the People's Action Party branch office during the weekly Meet-the-People session, and pass it to the person at the registration desk.
I didn't join the long queue to see the MP as my letter was self-explanatory. The person at the registration desk promised to pass my letter to the MP. However, almost a year has passed and I have not received any response.
All I asked in my letter was whether there was any plan to cover the drains outside my house, as I noticed that work was carried out to cover the drains at the private houses near the community centre.
